Brown shetland wool suit waistcoat Braemer

A fresh breeze from the North

For fall/winter 2026, The Nines and Alex Cormac continue their collaboration with Aquilon. Named after the cold north wind, the collection envisions a warmer, more textured wardrobe.

The Nines x Alex Cormac

Three-piece suits, Gurkha pants, ribbed knits, and shirts with distinctive collars create a look shaped by British, military, and workwear influences. Tweeds, Shetland wool, and substantial fabrics add texture throughout, while the cuts and details draw on sometimes-forgotten references from menswear. It’s a way to bring them up to date without losing their character.

With Aquilon, The Nines and Alex Cormac have created a collection full of character, designed to last and become a wardrobe of essentials.

Kildare suit vest by Alex Cormac

With its V-neck and peak lapels, the Kildare vest becomes a standout element of the three-piece suit. Under the jacket, it gives the ensemble more presence and draws greater attention to the shirt and tie.

Made from green virgin Shetland sheep’s wool, it shares the suit’s warm, slightly fuzzy fabric. Its less smooth finish gives it a richer appearance that’s especially pleasant to wear as temperatures drop. With the Kildare pants, it can also be worn without the jacket for a polished outfit that feels a little lighter.
